Ovide

Интим и зрелище, тоска и злоба, скромность и инстинкт, рождение и исчезновение - 4 девочки и 4 мальчика — 8 одиночеств рассказывают свою историю с лиризмом и страстью, между Землей и Космосом на их пути к их метаморфозам... Фильм предлагает посмотреть на героев одноименного произведения Овидия в современных декорациях. Античные боги живут в иммигрантских кварталах, водят автомобили, ходят по магазинам. В их жизнь вплетены обыденные ритуалы, которые, однако, не мешают проявляться античным страстям. Возвышенные, дерзкие, надменные и любвиобильные - они удачно сочетаются с неторопливым ритмом фильма, выверенным монтажом и нежным саундтреком. Благодаря отменной режиссуре у Кристофа Оноре получается один из самых интересных и выдающихся фильмов во французском кинематографе последних двух лет.

This is a time when we learn afresh that nothing lasts forever and that the variability is an integral part of everyday life. What is a river today does not mean that tomorrow will not become a sea. Life itself is one large metamorphosis, and the human being is its variable shape...

Several animated stories from "Metamorphoses," the Roman poet Ovid's narrative of legends, are presented.

An expressionist reimagining of the classic Greek myth involving Acteón and Diana, transposed to Spain's Costa Brava by a future auteur of horror cinema. Based on the myth from Ovid's Metamorphoses in which Acteón accidentally catches a glimpse of Diana, the goddess of love, and is subsequently turned into a deer for his dogs to devour, Jorge Grau's modernist retelling resets the story to contemporary Spain, where a fisherman – played by Martin LaSalle, star of Bresson's Pickpocket – follows an enchanting, flirtatious stranger into the city.

King Midas is visited by an elf; the elf turns his cat to gold, then claps his hands and it changes back. Midas begs for the golden touch, but the elf warns him it would be a curse to him. Midas insists. He dances about joyfully at first, but discovers the drawbacks when he sits down to dinner. Fearing death by starvation, he summons the elf and agrees to surrender everything he owns to have the curse lifted.
